VII. Delivery:

FAR 52.211-8 Time of Delivery (June 1997)

(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

The Contractor will be required to ship units within 50 DAYS AFTER DATE OF DELIVERY ORDER for the five (5) one (1) year ordering periods.

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered non-responsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term “working day” excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(End of clause)

Place of Delivery – DESTINATION: All SSDG’s shall be delivered to the following address:

U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center Receiving Room BLDG 88 2401 Hawkins Point Road Baltimore, MD 21226-5000 M/F: Contract Number: {To be furnished at the time of award} Task Order Number: {To be furnished with each individual order}

IX. EVALUATION CRITERIA

The provision at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-2 Evaluation of Commercial Products and Commercial Services is not applicable to this solicitation. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.2 RFO based on the criteria listed below.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quotation conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

• Delivery Schedule/Proposed Delivery Schedule

• Warranty Information

• Technical Capabilities Statement

• Past Performance

• Price

Basis for Award: Award will be “based on whether the lowest priced of the quotations or offers having the highest past performance rating possible represents the best value when compared to any lower priced quotation or offer,” in accordance with FAR 12.2 RFO.

FACTOR #1 DELIVERY SCHEDULE- Offeror shall provide statement of conformance with the required delivery schedule of 50 days from date of delivery order.

FACTOR #2 WARRANTY INFORMATION- Offeror shall provide Standard Manufacturer’s Warranty and warranty resolution plan – 1 page maximum

FACTOR #3: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

The Exhaust Lagging components provided must meet the same requirements for form, fit and function as the materials currently installed on the 87’ & 110’ Patrol Boat Cutters, as manufactured by Advanced Thermal Products, Inc.

FACTOR #4 PAST PERFORMANCE

Offerors shall furnish the information listed below for at least two (2) relevant past performance references completed within the last three (3) years that are relevant to this requirement (i.e., the same or similar requirement) and are held with government (federal, state, local), private or commercial entities. Note: The Government may use past performance information obtained from any source to evaluate past performance. All information obtained will be used to determine the offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the quality of past performance and perform a responsibility determination. An assessment of past performance will be used to evaluate the relative capability to successfully meet the requirements in the specification. Each offeror past performance shall be evaluated according to the following factors:

Quality of Product or Service Schedule

In evaluating offerors past performance, the government intends to review Contractor Performance Assessment Reports and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. General trends in an offeror’s performance will also be considered.

References other than those provided by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government to obtain additional information that will be used in the evaluation of the offeror’s past performance such as government databases and internal organization.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will receive a Neutral Rating for past performance. The offeror will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance. Relevant Past Performance history will be rated higher than Neutral past performance.

FACTOR #5: PRICE

The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract on initial quotes. Therefore, the initial quotation should contain the best terms from a price standpoint and all other factors being considered. The Government reserves the right to seek information clarifying any element of a quotation prior to award.
